Damir Jakirlic is a CFA charterholder and has been working in corporate finance for over ten years, with in-depth experience in both the start-up environment and medium-sized businesses.
He has accompanied companies such as Delivery Hero and HelloFresh on their way to multi-billion valuations and advised private equity funds such as H.I.G. Capital and Triton Partners on significant transactions.
His operational expertise is based on his experience as a founder, as CFO of the unicorn Forto, and as CFO of a market-leading medium-sized company in Germany.
Damir combines strategic thinking with operational implementation expertise—particularly in phases of rapid growth, during transformations, and in the development of scalable financial structures.
Growth in the DACH market is not achieved through individual measures, but through clearly defined go-to-market structures and their consistent implementation in the market. Strategic clarity only works if it is systematically translated into processes, roles, and market access—in line with the real decision-making logic in the DACH region.
